Despite the disappointing season so far, Peter Bosz will remain coach of Olympique Lyon until the end of February. The president of the former French serial champion, Jean-Michel Aulas, said in an interview with the sports newspaper“The Team” announced. “Peter is a very, very good coach,” he said. Jérôme Boateng’s team only played 1-1 at home against FC Metz on Wednesday and are currently 13th in Ligue 1.
Ex-Leverkusen coach Bosz had only taken over the team before the start of the season. From Aulas’ point of view, the 58-year-old Dutchman is still the best solution at the moment. The club boss also blamed the unrest about the departure of the sporting director Juninho, who officially left the club at the end of the year, for the performance. “After all, there are no coaches on the market who have the quality of Peter Bosz,” said Aulas. With a change of coach you risk that everything will get worse. “So he stays,” emphasized Aulas. Bosz was confident on the club’s website. Leading the team out of the current situation is a challenge.
